from sbs 2003 no R2 migration to 2003 R2 Standard

my company has a 2003 sbs (non R2) and we are looking to move a 64 bit 2003 R2 standard with exchange 2007. I need to promote the new 2003 R2 as the DC and move over exchange data as well. I read about the transition pack for sbs2003 r2 but does that mean I have to upgrade that first?

if I loaded 2003 R2 server standard 32bit and used the transition pack to move from my SBS2003 even though my SBS03 server is not R2?  This would work?

I'm not clear on what you are trying to do.

If you are asking if you can use the transition pack on a 2003 non-r2 SBS server to convert it to a standard 2003R2 server, then the answer is yes.

The same transition pack works with SBS2003 or SBS2003R2
